Roe v. Wade cited Buck v. Bell, a 1927 case upholding forced sterilization. In San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall comments on Roe's decision, saying: "[T]he Court reaffirmed its initial decision in Buck v. Bell. See Roe v. Wade, supra, at 154." In other words, Roe reaffirmed forced sterilization of women. Then in 1978, in a case called Stump v. Sparkman, the Court upheld forced sterilization even of unrepresented women. So the question is would you support Roe v. Wade if you found this out?
